fall.

her leaves touched the sky
like a breath
of orange and yellow blankets, I
pulled it in
so she wouldn't
rot.

and you graced my presence with your
apple cider belly,
scent kept me warm but I
had to avoid bitter
tastes
of them
    [the crows
      the clouds
      the colors]
peering through our glass mirror.

so we laid there in silence
as she delivered
autumn tissue paper:
I chose the red;
slumbering hearts yet to awaken
even when her arms
pressed us
together.

    sometimes, we don't see or realize something/someone, and our feelings, even if we are ''pressed together" ...I love the imagery in the last stanza...this is beautiful, Cassie!

    This is very soft Cassie, the images are beautiful,not sure if 'laid' there works...I wanted to keep saying 'lay' instead, but i understand the tense of the poem required it, only a little thing. The write is very good. Love, C
